(Left) Diagram of the protein shell, the loop of ssDNA, and the two ends of Inovirus F pilus-specific coliphage, (From Kornberg, A., Baker, T.A. (1991). DNA replication, 2nd Ed. W.H. Freeman and Co., New York, p 562).
(Center) Negative contrast electron micrograph of inovirus Enterobacteria phage fd (fd), showing a tapered end with extensions due to adsorption proteins. The bar represents 100 nm. (From Gray, C.W., et al. (1981), courtesy of Dr. Gray).
(Right) Negative contrast electron micrograph of a preparation of plectrovirus Acholeplasma phage MV-L51 (L51) showing a rod-shaped virion and an abnormally long particle. The bar represents 50 nm. (From Maniloff, J., Das, J., Putzrath, R.M. 1977.)
